Lyrics

Tilikum

I wonder what you're thinking
Staring through the rain

Going through our baby names
Your husband thinks you're sleeping
At a motorway hotel
He doesn't know tonight you're flying out of hell

Be my rose, growing in the cold
Be my light in the window at home
Be my sun, rising in the sky
Be my time bond lover, tonight

You're turning on your phone now
Your hands begin to shake
I'm just across the harbour bridge you say
I flew out here to tell you
I couldn't hold your pain then
Day by day I waited for your heart to melt

Be my rose, growing in the cold
Be my light in the window at home
Be my sun, rising in the sky
Be my time bond lover, tonight

Be my rose, growing in the cold
Be my light in the window at home
Be my sun, rising in the sky
Be my time bond lover, tonight
